TOXIC ENVIRONMENT-- Do not work in Customer support operations

Pros

Company reimburses for cell phone bill, provides apple macs, and has decent snacks in kitchen--but so do most tech companies.No other Pros I can think of.

Cons

* Company has grown quickly from a start-up to a large company structure,however, it has not put any good processes in place necessary to properly run such a large company. * Customer support group is the worst group to work for. Favoritism is rampant; pre-IPO employees enjoy a favorable status and they bully newer employees. The company has its own proprietary systems and there is little if any new employee training or knowledge transfer. * You are completely at the mercy of your manager for performance review with no HR involvement. There are no 360 degree reviews and your manager can give a bad review on flimsiest pretext. Since stock options do not start vesting till 1 year anniversary of joining, managers abuse the system to make sure you never get your 100% bonus till your stocks start vesting. HR always favors managers and there is no way they will support you even if you have incriminating evidence against your manager. * Poor work-life balance -- Being a cloud-based SaaS company, 24X7 support is necessary. Some positions are staffed to follow the sun, but others are not. So if there is an issue, you are supposed to be ready to wake up at any hour of night and sign up for pager duty. As you are an exempt employee, there will be no compensation for those hours worked. Employees are expected to work more than 50 hours per week. Company has unlimited vacation policy, but it is to dissuade employees from taking time-off. If you take PTO, you will be penalized by citing a non-issue as the reason or may be let go when you return.

Pros

Company stock. Great company outlook.

Cons

Extremely political. 100% agree with previous reviewer's note on layoffs. I speak from experience, was met in conference room and asked to leave the company immediately and escorted out. Was not allowed back to my desk to grab personal belongings, HR took care of it. Was not Given an opportunity to say bye to colleagues, they are that extreme. days later I spoke to someone at the company who heard from my direct reporting manager that It was my decision to quit. Lastly, company culture sucks. I saw my manager's manager twice at the very most during my entire period of employment, no open door policy. Extremely who reports to who mentality. Finance is a stressful Place to be, absolutely not worth your time unless you are offered a generous very generous stock compensation package.
